 From Section 4.6:

   "A conventional message is one that does not use any extension
    defined in the SMTP extension document [RFC5336] or in the
    UTF8header specification [RFC5335], and is strictly conformant to
    RFC 5322 [RFC5322]."

Shouldn't the RFC 5335 and RFC 5336 references be updated to 
draft-ietf-eai-rfc5335bis-13 and draft-ietf-eai-rfc5336bis-15?

 From Section 11.3:

   "When signatures are present, downgrading MUST be performed with
    extreme care if at all."

The "MUST" in the above sentence could be lower-cased.
